Operation

Starting up the projector

1.Plug the power cord into the projector and into a

wall socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted). Check that the POWER indicator light on the projector lights orange after power has been applied.

2. Remove the lens cap. If it is closed, it could become deformed due to the heat produced by the projection lamp.

3.Press II Power on the projector or remote

control to start the projector. The POWER indicator light flashes green and stays green when the projector is on.

The start up procedure takes about 30 seconds. In the later stage of start up, a startup logo is projected.

(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the image clearness.

• If the projector is still hot from previous activity, it will run the cooling fan for approximately 90 seconds before energizing the lamp.

To maintain the lamp life, once you turn the projector on, wait at least 5 minutes before turning it off.

4.If you are prompted for a password, press the arrow keys to enter a six-digit password. See "Utilizing the password function" on page 24 for details.

5.Switch all of the connected equipment on.

6.The projector will start to search for input signals. The current input signal being scanned displays in the upper left corner of the screen. If the projector doesn't detect a valid signal, the message 'No Signal' will continue displaying until an input signal is found.

You can also press SOURCE on the projector or remote control to select your desired input signal. See "Switching input signal" on page 26 for details.

If the frequency/resolution of the input signal exceeds the projector's operating range, you will see the message 'Out of Range' displayed on a blank screen. Please change to an input signal which is compatible with the projector's resolution or set the input signal to a lower setting.

See "Timing chart" on page 54 for details.
